A Better Mousetrap




A Better Mousetrap


Yes,
My life could
DEFINE folly

It’s penultimacy
Unworthy of a five
Second Leno anecdote

If a life is to be
Squandered

At least it could be done
Boldy
Garishly


A loud belch of
Resolute chaos

Rather than
The timid eek
Following the snap
Of the sentence
Received by all those
Of us caught

Ignominiously

In that same
Mousetrap

    Have you been in my head?! You've created quiet the masterpice here. This one grabs you and reels you in with ease, then takes you on the trip of life. A most excellent piece! Blessinga and many hugs, Gypsy

    Hmmm...very interesting read in this. Hope by now, you do not feel quite so down. Have missed you much. Your pieces so hit home to the heart and matter of things within me in ever so many ways. Peace and love always, rose

    You've penned the truth me brother. Unfortunately life is full of traps and pitfalls. I think your words say it all.

    Sincerely,

    I thought that this was an amazing write, I do have to admit I had to read it twice to get the full meaning of the write but that's probably just because I'm a little slow at times lol. It's hard when you cannot find anyone that you can trust, you don't know how to move on and everything just builds up inside of you causing stress and anger until you release it on someone you wish you haddn't. Your words were perfectly placed and told such an amazing write. I loved this immensely and I hope to read more from you soon. Keep writing hun, -Heather

    Excellent!

    Hard to find anyone you can put your trust in thses days my friend, and it seems life is full of mousetraps...sadly enough, for we all live in the same world, and watch it through the eyes of wanting love, but some unwillingly watch it pass by, and care not as you and I...Love this piece you've penned, once again my friend, you call it as you see it! Great job!

    Your Bro, Timbo~

    Hi Dan this is an unusual one for you, but no doubt there's a double meaning tucked away in there. I'm glad you're back my Friend and I enjoyed reading this as much as I do your other poems.
    Hugs Joan
